They are officially near a highway, and hence in jeopardy
Come July 1, and about 120 bars and pubs within a 500-metre radius of MG Road may have to close down.
The reason: MG Road is officially a national highway. The Supreme Court in December 2016 ordered the closure of all liquor joints within 500 metres of national and state highways.
Swanky liquor joints around MG Road and Church Street have received notices to move out or shut down by the end of the month.
